My small review of GRINDHOUSE(2007) movie

First, I have to say that I love Quentin Tarantino’s (QT) movies. Basically, Grindhouse is two mini-movies put togetherwith some fake previews so that to give a feel of early 70 double treat. ( i.e. two movies for one ticket.) Movie start with fake ”Machete” preview. It is too crazy.Nice quote from this preview is they fucked up the wrong Mexican” Next mini movie “Planet of terror” by Rodriquiz. A zombie flick.It just rocks. From blood to boobs, it simply hot. The heroine of the piece is just smoking hot with two/one/wooded/gun leg. There are many disgusting scenes. But come-on it is Zombie flick.
Once the zombie flick ended, there were more fake previews. I liked Roth’s “Thanksgiving” preview.
Now my favorite QT film "Death Proof". It is basically action thriller with some gore. Stunt man Mike (Kurt Russell) acts as the bad guy.Movie starts with three good looking girls meet up in a car and start talking. Then they go to a bar and keep talking & music & smoking & driniking & more talking etc. Typical QT movie conversations. There they meet Kurt. While everyone is going back , Kurt kills them all with his death proof. In the next scenes, again we will meet 4 more good looking girls & again they smoke & eat & talk a lot. Finally Kurt meets with these 4 girls. But these girls are different from first set. It is like in “Seinfeld “ TV serial, Jerry meets with Jerry. That chase part was pretty entertaining & ending was great. This is my first double treat movie for one ticket price & it was really great. Finally a unique movie experience for me. It is a must for QT fan.

My small review of Annie Hall ( 1975) movie

One day, I saw one thread in a film forum citing
the best movie from Woody Allen is Annie Hall.
I liked his recent movie like Match point, Any thing else etc. So I brought Annie Hall DVD. Woody acted & wrote & directed this movie. Now coming to movie, it start with Woody talking to audience the following

There's an old joke.
Two elderly women are at a Catskills mountain resort, and one of them says: "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible."
The other one says, "Yeah, I know, and such... small portions."

Well, that's essentially how I feel about life.
Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness,
and it's all over much too quickly.

Again another joke. Movie slowly shift to his latest girl friend Annie
& to his earlier girl friends in nonlinear way. Woody used lot of new techniques too.
In particular split screen technique concept was too good. He & Annie both talking to psychiatrist about sexual problems at the same time, (His family & ann’s family dinner scenes were very funny. Woody & Annie introduction scene dialogs were simply effective & natural & full of realism. Movie ends with following joke.

You know, this- this-this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says,
"Doc, my brother's crazy. He thinks he's a chicken."
And,the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?"
And the guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs."

Well, I guess that's pretty much how how I feel about relationships.
You know, they are totally irrational and crazy and absurd and...
but I guess we keep going through it because, most of us need the eggs.

Woody & Diane Keaton (Annie hall) performance was very good.
Watched same movie twice in two successive days. A must match movie.

I will put more quotes later.
